Blair to be EU President

TONY BLAIR is on course to become EU President within weeks, senior government sources signalled today.

The former prime minister's candidacy for the new post will be rushed through as quickly as possible if Ireland votes "Yes" in its referendum on the Lisbon Treaty on Friday.

Mr Blair is among the favourites to become the first President of the European Union, a role that will restore him to the world stage and boost his long-term income.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy has thrown his weight behind a Blair bid. When French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner was asked yesterday if Mr Blair was the only real candidate, he said: "For the moment, indeed". The former premier has refused to rule himself in or out of the running, but said that "it is good to have fans" for a possible candidacy.

Behind the scenes, allies say that while he is not pushing himself forward, discreet soundings have shown him to be the leading contender.

The President will be selected by leaders of the EU's 27 nations, rather than face direct election by voters.

This is the WHOLE reason Brown is still in power, and why Mandelson was rushed home to keep him there. A new labour leader would have to call an election, which Dave would win, who promised a referendem, which would be a resounding NO, which would derail the Lisbon treaty, which would scupper Toni's plans to be Prez.

Mandelson only has to keep Brown in situ until the Irish 'yes' vote is in. I'm simply curious to see how quickly Brown is dumped once Toni gets appointed.

If the Evil One is installed as EU President, I am writing formally to all and sundry to tell them I will not recognise Bliar or this unelected post and will oppose any invocation of sovereignity or authority. Suggest others do the same.

It seems to depend which paper you read. The Times had an article this morning: “Tony Blair is a man of the past and the United Kingdom is no longer any model,” said a French diplomat. Sarkozy cooled towards Blair a few months ago and is said to prefer Gonzalez (Spain). Juncker of Luxembourg is also in the running. The whole edifice of the EU is corrupted. Better Off Out.

Sorry to be pedantic here JD , but its the Czech Republic, here in Slovakia, the bastard Treaty was literaly ' forced' through.

The Czech Republic are in serious financial difficulties, its only Vaclav Klaus ( the Czech president ) who refuses to sign the bastard Treaty, but the Czech President has been warned, that if he carries on in the same vain... there will ' be consequences ' ?

I constantly remind not only my Slovakian family and freinds , but anyone who believes that joining the EU shitfest, as being some kind of good idea !

Ex Soviet bloc countries ... out of the frying pan, and in to the fucking fire !

Democracy, EU stlyee.. four times we have voted on 'banning smoking in public places' FOUR times we have basicaly told them ( The EU ) to fuck off.. and now we have to vote for a fifth time !

Spoilt my Friday hearing that the gump might be the Pres of the EU.Awful, awful, awful...still waiting for him to be held accountable for his 45 minutes and Saddam can hit us with WMD's lie that took us to war and cost us so dear.

Harri, Czech Republic it is - sorry. I still talk of Peking, Bombay and even Rhodesia. Where will it end? Will London become Londinium. As a pedant myself I understand your point. Until Klaus signs the treaty its ratification is not valid. I doubt if he will be cowed by eu threats. Norway, Denmark and Sweden were all threatened in the past, but there were no consequences of any significance. In fact Norway is doing rather well. All the best, Jonathan.

Serial "debunkers", as they term themselves, are cut from the very same cloth as the conspiracy nutters they claim to oppose - both extremes have been shown, time and again, to make equally poor predictions of the future.

The real skill, although it's quite easy, in fact, is to spot those conspiracies which have been properly categorised as such.

Blair's entire career is, as a matter of public record, one such conspiracy.

El-Presidente Bliar is merely collecting his due reward for handing back a huge chunk of the UK's EU rebate !

And very soon Gordon the loon, will be collecting his reward for the Lisbon Treaty stitch up, and make no mistake about it !

JD, no worries mate, here in Slovakia, we constantly tell the EU where to shove the constant barrage of nazi orders, but it has absolutley no fucking effect whatsoever !

Here, we do not so readily accept the EU orders as they do in the UK, from where i am standing, and as sad and embarrasing as it is, in the UK the EU orders are gold plated and then dished out like sweeties.

I personaly remain totaly convinced that it will all end in tears... and bloodshed, again ?

This stings a bit and makes one want to hold ones head in ones hands, and fucking weep floods of tears, ' All hail President Bliar and the first Lady of Europe'

I suggest that with an increasing life expectancy, there will be a large number of healthy men, who are not working, who are not dependent upon the fascist/socialist state for support and who would be available to form a militia to defend our civil liberties against the un-democratic socialists in this country and in the EU. What is needed is a website to bring them together so they can develop into a coherent fighting force. This would not compromise their children, who will no doubt still be on the normal treadmill of life for their children. Come on people over 55, let's start to fight back against the socialists and the muslims.

To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality.
